I’m officially going to turn the big 3-0 this year! And with this coming of age time in my life, QSAC is also getting a coming of age make over this year. You will find a more ‘updated’ look throughout our magazine. We have more contributors than ever before which means we are able to give you more variety and points of view than ever before. We have also changed our publishing platform. We are now increased our distribution by offering a print-to-order option of viewing experience. That means that for a low cost, you can order this edition and get a physical copy deliver right at your door. This month also marks the first time QSAC has become a PPR or a “pay per read” publication online. While the decision was a hard one since, QSAC has always been a free publication, we at QSAC magazine feel that the small fee will allow us to provide a higher quality publication each month to you. For the price that amounts to about a pack of gum, you can enjoy a stunning publication, great images and unique stories not found in any other place. We hope you enjoy these new changes and find it worth the investment to become a reader of QSAC Magazine. Everyone in our editorial senior staff hopes you enjoy this special 6 Cover Edition of QSAC Magazine featuring 6 of our Top 20 Q’s in Sacramento. While each one of these people are very different, they all have one big thing in common. They make our Queer community in Sacramento a unique place to live, play and work in. I wish you all a great and happy and prosperous new year!
